they called it takes center stage during bronc obama's state of the union address but the targeted killing of terrorist suspects including americans without charge or trial fails to make the content case key speech. north korea faces more sanctions as the un security council strongly condemns pyongyang said and the most powerful underground nuclear test today. and as high earners on the banks and how the way you are a small business owners call their government taxes suffocating as pressure mounts during tough financial times.

international news and comments live from moscow this is all she with me. hello and welcome to the program. bronco bamma devoted has found state of the union address of his second term to trying to appease norway cars and tongue spares with fresh promises to boost the economy and slash debt and deficit but certain domestic and foreign policy issues which washington has been criticized for well notably left out of his speech last night are all he's got metric on in washington for the details so that i get a guy that is so of the speech americans were expecting obama to address the most pressing concerns is that feeling the president lived up to those expectations. well it was a very emotional speech as the president focused on gun violence at the end of the

speech in the country which is rampant shootings at schools malls and cetera happen on a regular basis here victims of gun violence their families a teacher from the newtown elementary school where twenty small children were gunned down in december they were among the audience as the president dedicated a good part of his annual state of the union speech to push for gun control he certainly talked about the economy which according to the president is feeling even though the country still wanting a huge deficit he said the u.s. is halfway through reducing its deficit by four trillion dollars economy say that's how much is needed for the u.s. to balance its budget president obama hinted that had congress been a bit less this functional the country would have made more progress instead he said the country has been moving from one quote unquote manufactured crisis to another to reduce energy cost president obama said the u.s. would produce more of its own oil and its own natural gas as it has been doing over the past two years those were just some of the domestic issues that the president focused on in his state of the union report yes in several washington's policies

like the targeted killing of terrorist suspects have lately come on the plaintiff's creation and criticism did obama address actually those concerns in his speech. not much as you can imagine julian not much on foreign policy front while the president was talking about the u.s. bringing troops home from afghanistan the administration. is set to continue to chase down terrorists across the globe and although there was no mentioning of the word drones what everybody knew that you know drones have been the hallmark of president obama's foreign policy and he didn't talk much about that again there was no mentioning of the word drone despite the u.n. raising concerns about the legality of the use of drones the u.s. is setting up new drone free bases around the globe as you can imagine we did not hear much again about this war that the administration is waging with a remote control a war that is shrouded in secrecy all the president had to say on this is this.

is true different kind of affiliates in extremist groups have emerged from the arabian peninsula to africa the threat these groups pose is evolving but to meet this threat we don't need to send tens of thousands of our sons and daughters abroad occupy other nations instead will need to help countries like yemen libya and somalia provide for their own security and help allies to take the fight to ters as we have in mali and where necessary through a range of capabilities we will continue to take direct action against those terrorists who pose the greatest threat to americans. so not much of was said about the administration's no prisoners policy which has raised all sorts of red flags numerous reports of civilian deaths in those drone strikes president obama did say in the speech that his justice department was working on the legal framework for those operations but one wonders what kind of

a legal framework that could be when the man who's been in charge of the program john brennan during his confirmation hearing last week explained why the administration couldn't go to court with drones he said we don't punish people for past guilt with strike before they act he basically said the u.s. government could execute people for what they haven't done yet and one can assume how hard it will be to find a legal framework for that state of the union speech is not supposed to be controversial so the president did not have to expand on some of his most controversial policies. and reporting there live from washington thank you very much indeed for guiding us through the obama speech. and during his speech obama announced the signing of a new cybersecurity who would end the state of purpose which is to boost the nation's defenses against but journalist and author tom gjelten says the scientists face simply not transparent we are moving into. an era where

countries feel more and more free to attack each other and they very feel that they can do so without being caught difficult years particularly here in the united states there is so much secrecy surrounding cyber war weaponry in general but particularly on the opposite side there should be perhaps no more of those that will govern our time to. worry some discussion about. how international laws of war oh sorry to disagree. the un will be found sanctions against north korea that stops and emergency meeting of the international borders security council resulted in a unanimous condemnation of pyongyang's third nuclear test the communist state conducted a controlled atomic detonation on tuesday in defiance of the yuan ban on all such

activity details now from port nine. well the u.n. security council of unanimously condemned north korea's latest nuclear test there called it a. clear threat to international peace and security a press statement approved at an emergency meeting hours after pyongyang's latest underground test called the atomic blast a grave violation of three un resolutions of banning north korea from conducting nuclear or missile tests now the council also pledged further action calling peelings latest defiant a clear threat to international peace the security council also strengthen sanctions in response to this missile test back in december and they promised the council members promised to take significant action in the event of this new nuclear test now while there was a unanimous unanimous sentiment within the security council in the midst of this emergency meeting some members like china and russia said that the international

community should tread carefully a russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said that no country in the international community should not jump to quick conclusions or actions while i would like to stress that north korea's nuclear test deserves condemnations we hold the will not be used as a pretext to build up a military presence around the korean peninsula we believe that flexing military muscles in the region is extremely dangerous now u.s. president barack obama also warned that both tuesday's tests and earlier satellite launches are provocations according to the u.s. president and he threatened further swift and credible action against pyongyang. also condemn the nuclear test calling it deplorable the test was also criticized by many others including britain japan france the e.u. the i need a north korean diplomat john young wrong also told the u.n.

disarmament forum in geneva recently that his country quote will never bow down to any reza. lucian and that was in response to criticism that nuclear test violated several u.n. security resolution now pyongyang has also that if the u.s. response to that test with hostility then unspecified quote second and third measures may follow it seems as though if you just base that on the patterns that are taking place that north korea is not backing down despite any threat of resolutions or sanctions. a north korea's main ally and aide of a fact said china was among those condemning people in gangs atomic test direct so global studies at hong kong university simon schoen believes that while beijing joined the united criticism its relations with this secretive state will remain intact beijing best knowledge which is the only one snowden in this region because mention instability is to measure. the principle of this moment.

the rising reuters activities in japan and south korea. seeing north korea as a new fact to balance against you know understates so it's known as does nords to call the interests of beijing and these kind of behaviors i mean still be tolerated by beijing at this moment is the new government of south korea and japan just being installed and that it could use an excuse to mobilize their own rotors as collusion of those to put out their military capabilities so it's not commit them beijing but also matured as their own excuse to mobilize their own but it sure can pain and then the results could be a competition among all the powers in the region so that in a low. iran says it may allow international inspectors access to the park chain military complex which is suspected of covert atomic research it comes as the u.n.

visits the country for another round of talks on his controversial nuclear program tehran also sad it's been converting and reached uranium into reactor fuel in another move and that's easing tensions with the west there for us as man to slow the build up of material which could potentially be used to make nuclear weapons and matthew makovsky nuclear security expert from queen mary university in london believes direct talks are the only solution to the stalemate. if the international society and. inspectors are allowed in that this is definitely going to be a very good sign from it on or to the international society that it has to be mentioned that. this would not be the first star and it would go into power to. the board if i'm not mistaken and good times and they have not found anything but there are still concerns raised. on that has not yet replied to questions posed to them one thing many analysts a country agree on is that in order to in order to. stop the whole crisis the

ringing crisis as there is a need for direct reining in american talks and this is something that we still are not see at all. and right now on our c dot com for you when militias against the president suddenly turn into a van and brawls with police and egypt's biggest cities it's these guys who are turning up the hate and our channel gives you an exclusive chance to hear from this secretive star is of the egyptian uprising online and also that suffering a tough by mother nature promos in parts of new york we try to hit hardest by hearkened sunday already and for an unfortunate surprise from the suit his tux all sorts of. lines while some believe was feeling sad about the part of the decision to park his vatican binds these ukrainian girls were only too

delighted to hear the news and staged a celebration carr says that most famous try to. use today. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. joint operation through the day. tough times means many in europe are finding it increasingly harder to make ends meet but time spares are unlikely to be given much reporting especially when bad governments are tucking record debts and with no one willing to digit generously funded public services the year looks set to continue having one of the highest tax rates in the world always based on a very investigates. he's

a leading man of stage and screen however european heads of state will be hoping share our debt by do doesn't become the leader of a tax exodus by the super rich fund to our lands decision to push through a seventy five percent top rate of tax on those earning over one million euros saw the actor up sticks and head to russia europe has some of the highest rates of taxation in the world with many giving the lion share of the things to the state of vermont feel that it can be a balancing act of course you want to run a successful business but if you make over a certain amount you find yourself paying out huge quantities of tax over fifty percent. there are warnings for europe that when compared to low tax countries like russia they could lose their competitive edge if their country with low taxes and with high taxes capital flow went to countries that low tax in the same is true for people with talent there's always going to be people that think the taxes are too

high but a growing number actually starting to think that it's becoming detrimental to the development of business that he can't owns a haulage company in munich currently he employs around ninety people transporting everything from the small to the big and bulky all over mainland europe he says that lowering the current rate of tax would not just make big changes to his business but also to the lives of his staff that's where not only can his was our current he would be super first i could pay higher salaries this is a very important issue right now due to the rise in the cost of living also i can invest more into the company and grow the business even employ more people everyone benefits something that is impossible under the current tax system and that those in power argue that the problem in european countries right now is that taxpayers want to have the best of both worlds big management of the phenomenon we face

regarding taxes is that everyone wants to pay as little as possible however no one is willing to give up the services that those taxes go to pay for them with few signs of any major tax cuts on the horizon in year businesses like this one going to have to continue to struggle to bring home the bacon but it comes to saving fifty development peter all other r.t. . and still to come for you this hour a dangerous precedent interest a couple of court and a court that's blown a big hole in the british government's unemployment scam. this later but now in tunisia a religious schools are spreading throughout the nation following the revolution two years ago some parents have no problem with their kids getting down to the nuts and bolts of islam at an early stage but others fear centric ation is only planting the seeds of future extremism are going to run our ports. tunisia's learned

some tough lessons in the wake of its revolt but now the report card for what's going on in its schools is facing examination in the school in one of the poorest districts of the tunisian capital children come to learn about the qur'an and the way of life of true muslims religious education was banned under the old regime but it's making a comeback in a big way the rise of islam islam has led to an increase in the number of religious schools are springing up across the country these schools are private operating outside of the control of state officials who have no say over what's being taught in these schools and some worry that this may lead to a rise in the number of young extremists even many religious experts agree filling your minds with religious doctrines may not be the best way to bring up children. what that does and i read in one of the papers sent by a three year old girl to her mother with

a message my beloved mom teach me about the afterlife the same way you teach about this life is this a way to teach three year old children we can see it clearly attempts to brainwash these children dr from rooney carried out an extensive research of religious schools and to nice to find out whether critics were right to say that they were damaging to the country's post revolutionary development she found most schools were primarily focused on teaching strict islamic values without worrying about the effect these methods may have on youngsters. i have noticed that all female teachers at these schools where any cub while teaching you can see her face this is in contradiction with what's known in psychology as communication how can she communicate with the kids of her face is covered emotions and movement of vital to kids and social interaction such things do not contradict our values and morals. but parents who send their children to study at these schools believe they're on

the right track. educating your children with muslim values is the way to ensure that they will lead a proper life from childhood studying the qur'an improves memory increases thinking abilities and says the right course for the rest of their lives. at the moment not even the ministry of education is able to say exactly how many religious schools there are in tunisia after the revolution they sprung up over the country many operating without license from the state the government has acknowledged the problem but has its hands full trying to keep the economy together. is on the back burner it's this absence of control that especially worries tunisians on top of the concerns about extremist salafist groups gaining ground. from these groups don't believe in democracy the republic and freedom they consider them to be against their religion they want to impose their way of life onto new zealand by force as if they know better than other people after the arab spring revolt tunisians were

eager to embrace what they hoped would be a new way of life but with radical islam permeating more and more spheres of everyday life these children's future may not be exactly what many parents had hoped for in their quest for freedom or democracy in tunisia. our team and in our world update this hour at least nineteen gunmen have been killed in thailand's turbulance house after all said to be the area's most vigorous militant attacks and several here is some one hundred heavily armed men stormed it on a base but were repelled thanks for militants who previously defected casualties among servicemen were reported three muslim dominated provinces often suffer from at times by insurgents calling pro great autonomy from bangkok. in another blow to syria's government forces the rebel free syrian army has seized a military airport east of the country's second city of aleppo following two days

of intensive bought and mentors are now in control of a small plane fleet at which includes make fighter jets after say commanders say the government troops will no longer be able to send in reinforcements to step up to stop rebel advances in a province neighboring aleppo or whether damascus has laid down the walls of that base claiming it was only used for training. and almost a week long manhunt for an ex i like cope and i'm not a suspect with a one million dollar prize on his head appears to be that's after an intensive shootout with cold a deputy sheriff under subsequent fire at a remote woodland cabin it was believed christopher dorner was hiding out in dorner is accused of and banking on a killing spree after vowing to avenge his sacking in the two thousand and eight he was believed to have already taken the lives of three people including a police officer antiwar activists and journalists don't demand. themselves that's

going to have driven his in stopping it seems. to be i do not think violence is justified no matter what had happened to mr dorner however from reading what he had released his so-called manifesto it's clear that he's witnessed a great deal of police misconduct aside from experiencing it himself as a police officer in the way he's witnessed a number of incidents that were either buried under the rug or covered up in one fashion or another and so it seems to me that the endgame from the point of view of the l.a.p.d. is to kill him before he has an opportunity to end up in a courtroom when there's a pattern of behavior that repeats itself over and over despite massive evidence in some cases that something quite contrary. is going on to what's being said then the only conclusion that you can come to was that this what is being done is not an error but rather a policy when you treat people in that fashion at they lose confidence in the

justice system they lose confidence in going to the courts for relief and some people decide to fight back in the only way they know how this particular person was trained by the government to be a killer and let loose elsewhere in the world to kill on behalf of the interests that rule the united states. it was one of the u.k.'s government's signature policies designed to get people box a wag but it's led to crane's of slavery and could now result in the authorities having to cough up millions to those who took box the south africa spain. university graduate kate riley and forty year old jamison wilson succeeded in their claims that their unpaid work that they were made to take part in was indeed a little for them but it was taking place in the court of appeal today and they argue it was that the surrounding issues will legally flawed so they were successful and

a small but significant victory now the law is that that ruling say it would mean that thousands of people who have their benefits stripped from the under similar circumstances in this government work program could we claim that money that could leave the door open to the millions of pounds compensation that would be footed by the taxpayer of course that's causing a lot of concern that the d.w.p. are saying that they are not going to be coughing up any cash whatsoever in our teeth on its own investigation into the work program it's been hugely controversial program a lot of problems in the response to what's the government has said that it was ridiculous to suggest that there were any problems with the work program and that it wasn't helping people get back into work but look this is all being quite embarrassing for the government today not speak to us more about this i'm joined by amery o'reilly from the political work there program thank you very much for

joining us a small victory do you think that far enough because on the surface of it it seems like a big deal and a win the obviously the people involved in that but is this going to be as hard hitting as far reaching well today's ruling is really significant for us it shows that workfare forced unpaid work in the u.k. isn't just wrong it's also been unlawful so that means every single person who's been sent on these schemes in the last two years was sent on them unlawfully and the tens of thousands of people who faced really extreme hardship and possible destitution by having their money stopped as a result of not participating may well. be entitled to claim that money back but you're right it doesn't go far enough for still a lot to be done one of this my significant schemes mandatory work activity is still intact and really disturbing me the government threatening to bring emergency regulations through to bring workfare straight back in this when just today the schemes are found illegal when they've been riddled with corruption allegations

from the start and the government's own research shows that has no effect on helping people find work you know there are millions of people unemployed here in the cave and of course the imperative is getting them back to work i don't think anyone's the jesting that these people shouldn't be put back to work but i think it's the rhetoric that surrounding it and indeed the figures as we said are see their own investigation and figures just do not add up the percentage of people who are actually getting jobs from this program we're incredibly full of but it was worse than doing nothing a tooth so really the figure is quite shocking but you're right this is a fair assertion and one that i've put in conflicts where it's hugely controversial loads of criticism about these government work schemes but they all schemes that are employed in the governor's quite right getting people back into jobs are they not unemployment in the u.k. the moment is a huge huge issue but the government nice that these schemes don't work its own research shows they have zero effect on helping people find work possibly worse in

doing nothing and. instead of helping create jobs what they're doing is replacing paid work by handing big business like. tesco poundland hundreds of thousands of hours of unpaid work effectively replacing jobs that would exist if the schemes weren't in place not only that the government is using these schemes to massage the unemployment figures because when people are forced to work without pay on the schemes they can't count them as having a job a very strange definition of having a job with not a single person is receiving a wage for them before one graduate who is on that work program certainly a small but significant victory in a fluid that k. fed today it certainly means that the government now has to go back to the drawing board when it comes to their work schemes. oh special report is up next in just a couple of minutes.
